“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls” George Carlin

The Dark Side of the Moon

If you are howling at the moon
You know it’s not twelve in the noon
Maybe doing a little dance
Around the garden in the nude prance
Paying homage to the big white ball in the sky
Whether down on the ground or up high
Some of us are more night people than others
If you think someone it bothers
Just tell them never mind, be kind
Let out a big smile
Tell them no tall tails
And if all else fails
Moon them!

“A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.” ― Eudora Welty

Moon and Sun

Early morning blue skies
With the crescent moon up high
The sun soon to be rising
Both of them each other sizing
Neither of them compromising
Soon enough, two bright lights
Shining up in the skies

“Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” – Seneca

The Moonlight Sky

From tiniest of crescent
To fullest of size
Each time a present
But never a surprise

“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art” Ansel Adams

Moon, Moon, where art thou?

Moon, moon
Where art thou moon?
Come out from your hiding
On the nightly path guiding
Before off the trail
I go slipping and sliding

“I look like the man in the moon” Martin Freeman

Daylight Moon (Daily Photo 2016-01-09)

The cloudless blue evening sky
Bringing the moon out from its hide
Painted neatly into the landscape
With a uncompleted crescent shape

The eternal battle
Closer to a haggle
Between moon and sun
Had once more begun

Circles of Life (The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge), Moon

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Circle

“With 2016 officially here, we face forward to take on what’s next. It’s a time of endings and beginnings, so I wanted a broad theme that could be simple, fun, and festive, but also complex and introspective. And so, circle it is.”

“Create around one at least a small circle where matters are arranged as one wants them to be” Anna Freud

Moon

Crescent moon
Full moon
A big white balloon
Wrapped up in a dark cocoon
Silence, the signature tune
Except,
When you are howling
At the moon

“From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It’s not a miracle; we just decided to go” Jim Lovell

December Moon, Part Five

Welcome,
To the dark side
Of the moon

They promised
Strong coffee
With an option
Of cream

Half way there
Gave me a scare
What if
There was
No sugar?
Oh bugger!

So what
Coffee black
Is just
As good!

“I am not a person who reaches for the moon as long as I have the stars” Gertrude Ederle

December Moon, Part Four

Echoes of the past
Echoes of the future
Time is moving fast
No later than sooner

Up high
In the sky
Total bliss
When time is
Standing still
If you blink
Even a wink
The moment
Passed you by
Oh how
Time flies

“Oh, don’t let’s ask for the moon. We’ve already got the stars” Bette Davis

December Moon, Part Two

“Look, the moon boss, the moon!”

December moon
You came so soon
Where did you go?
We were looking for you
Already a month ago
Here you are
Shining bright
Did you go far?
Never mind,
You are always
Such a delight!
